I'm currently a sophomore in high school with a 4.0 GPA. I'm in a well-known college prep school and will be completing the IB diploma program. I took the AP Human Geography exam last year and scored a 5. This year I'm taking AP World History and hope to score well on that as well. I'm involved in my school model UN (very much), Student Emergency Response Team, HOSA, French Club, UIL, and I'm an officer for my school Muslim Students Association. I also play golf. I moved to the US a year ago from Asia, so I'm not financially stable.
Over the summer I interned at a human rights' organization and loved it. But I also have a passion for medicine and a wish to work with Doctors Without Borders or in the UN as a doctor in the future (I don't know whether this is practical or not). I also have the goal of learning the Arabic language to work in Arab countries and just because I have a love for it.
So far I'm interested in a double major in Biological Sciences and Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies. Is this a good idea?
I also prefer to go to a college that might have a study abroad program in which I can utilize both Arabic and medicine to work in developing countries. Keeping all this in mind, what colleges do you think would be suitable for me? I am not very financially stable, like I said before, but I am an excellent student with a strong passion. Could I get into an ivy league school? Though that is not my set goal.
